Didn't anyone actually read the article??? Here it is.
Emphasis added by me.

Remediation work to the land on which the Lake Sumter Bridge stands could cost from $500,000 to $1.5 million, according to a Villages official.
Director of District Property Management Sam Wartinbee told members of the Project Wide Advisory Committee Monday morning that he is still gathering information on the upcoming project.
The bridge itself is structurally sound, but the "island" which connects the two sections of the bridge has been eroding over time, said PWAC Chairman Peter Moeller.
The bridge is owned by Sumter County. The land is owned by the District.
The costs of the repair will be shared by residents of Community Development Districts south of County Road 466.
PWAC will eventually decide the type of repair that will be pursued.
